Dick Poop: The Oscar Nominee Everyone Is Voting For!

Mo's Digital Last Word: HERE’S THE POOP

Had a little time to parse the Oscar nominations.

Off the bat yesterday, at first glance, I that it was a robust, masculine lineup, mostly, of manly movies made by manly men, and that’s the general take. Manly white men, and now the complaint is that the women have been excluded, namely Angelina Jolie for Unbroken, and Selma director Ava DuVernay (both those films, ironically, being about manly men as well).

All the acting nominees are white, for the record – for only the second time in 20 years, and on the subject of actors, several noses are out of joint, most notably David Oyelowo for Selma, Channing Tatum for Foxcatcher, Jake Gyllenhall for Nightcrawler, Ralph Fiennes for Grand Budapest Hotel AND Jennifer Aniston for Cake, a movie for which she campaigned hard.

She even got ugly for the part, which is usually a surefire way for pretty actresses to get taken seriously. But no one saw the movie, and she’s probably at home ugly crying right now.

This lady doing the Oscar nominations just said "dick poop" and I yelled it back at the tv because I'm 12
